Subject: Pub date is likely 1902–1905.

According to wood type scholar David Shields, “The company’s name was changed to Tubbs & Co in 1902, and then to Tubbs Mfg Co in 1905 when Charles Tubbs sold his interests to four employees who moved the company to Luddington, Michigan.” Because “Tubbs & Co” is used in this catalog I would change the date to ca. 1902 or 1902–1905.

Great to see the first Tubbs catalog on the Internet Archive!
